Could Segregated buses make a return in Israel?
Israel has this week seen a conflict re-emerge over the issue of female segregation on buses. The sexist policy requiring women to sit at the back of buses on certain routes in Israel was banned earlier this year.
In order to ensure that this law was enforced, campaigns have been carried out to ensure that women can choose to sit where they like on the bus. However, the Haredi Community have hit back demanding the right to operate private bus lines where segregation would be enforced.

A daily rental of a bike would be 16 Shekels and a weekly rental would cost 60 Shekels. It will be possible to pay at the rental station by credit card.
An annual subscription is 240 Shekels for residents of Tel Aviv and 280 Shekels for non-residents. An annual subscription can only be purchased at the Tel Aviv Muncipality or on the Tel-O-Fun website.
It is also expected that 50 further rental stations will open in the Tel Aviv suburbs.
